The first full-length trailer for the Malayalam film Kuttante Shinigami was unveiled on September 14 by the film’s makers. Directed by Rasheed Parakkal, the film stars Indrans and Jaffer Idukki, and is set to be released in theaters on September 20. The trailer offers a glimpse into the film’s unique take on the supernatural, focusing on Shinigami, a mythical entity from Japanese folklore that is said to follow a living being.
Rasheed Parakkal, who has previously worked as a writer, lyricist, and novelist, directs this film. His past works include writing for Sameer (2020) and Pine Marangalude Nattil (2023). His prior directorial venture, Manorjyam, received mixed reviews but has set the stage for this new project.
The film’s technical team includes cinematographer Shihab Ongallur, editor Zian Sreekanth, and music director Arjun V Akshaya. Supporting roles are filled by Sunil Sukhada, Sreejith Ravi, Sumesh Moor, Munshi Ranjith, Unni Raja, Sinoj Varghese, and Arya Viju, among others. Produced by Asharaf Pilakkal, known for backing films such as Moonnaam Naal (2015) and Hello Dubaikkaran (2017), Kuttante Shinigami is poised to offer a fresh and comedic take on the supernatural genre.
